Choosing to visit Shimla was my right decision as the place is bestowed with multihued destinations and places of interests which also include Tara Devi Temple Shimla. It is located nearly 11 kilometer from Shimla on the National Highway of Kalka and Shimla. So tourists travelling or passing through that highway can easily take a stoppage to visit this temple and offer prayers to Goddess Tara. The shrine resides on the hilltop of Shimla and is surrounded by lush green atmosphere that adds peace and tranquility to the visit of the devotees. To delight the serenity and breathtaking view of the countryside one must definitely visit the temple.
The rejuvenating breeze flowing across the temple and the sight of lofty mountains work wonders and add tranquility in the vacation to make it worthwhile for the visitors. Vacation is absolutely meant to break the monotony of the city life. It is hard to seek peace in the hustle and bustle of my city like Agra except the Taj Mahal where people get inspiration of love and peace. The legend narrates the story behind the temple in a very simple manner. It says that Goddess Tara was brought from West Bengal to Shimla 250 years ago when there was the rule of Sen Dynasty. The king used to wear the gold locket with his and the idol of Maa Tara and had a vision of the Goddess with hanuman while hunting in a dense forest. From that day itself he decided to donate a part of land to construct a temple of Goddess Tara so that people coming to visit the temple can cherish the blessings of the Goddess.
I was touched by the narrated story and wanted to be graced by the blessings of Maa Tara. The humble temple and its heavenly features are soothing and rhythmic. The idol of the Goddess is made out of eight precious elements purely described as ‘Ashtadhatu’. Tara Devi Temple Shimla is a gift of Sen Dynasty and its kings who shared their blessings with the humanity and its well being. Possessed with the precious blessings I took my leave from the place to visit the next destination.
